Hi Raman, I think you need to decide first on *why* you want to start a business, and then use that as the criteria for comparing business ideas. Do you want to get stinking rich? Pick the idea that has the highest potential profit. Do you want to change the world? Pick the idea that will have the biggest impact. Do you have more time with your friends and family? Pick the idea that provides the most flexible work hours. You get the gist.
Choosing an idea to pursue is step zero, validating that idea before going too far down the R&D path is the next step. (i.e. avoiding the "if you build it they will come" mistake) Some of these books can help with that: http://www.amazon.com/The-Entrepreneurs-Guide-Customer-Development/dp/0982743602 http://www.amazon.com/The-Four-Steps-Epiphany-Successful/dp/0976470705 http://www.amazon.com/The-Lean-Startup-Entrepreneurs-Continuous/dp/0307887898 Cheers, Graham.
